List of political parties in India

|
Template:Politics of India Political parties in India lists political parties in India. India has a multi-party system with a predominance of small regional parties. National parties are those that are recognized in four or more states. They are accorded this status by the Election Commission of India, which periodically reviews the election results in various states. This recognition helps the political parties to claim unique ownership of certain identities, such as the party symbol, until the next review of their status. Below are national parties as per October 2004.

The parties
- The listed names of Indian political parties differs from the general rule of Wikipedia. The names listed are generally the names as they have been registered at the Election Commission of India. In some cases an unoffical English translation is present in brackets, though some of these parties seldom use the English version. Rationale and specifics: See: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English).
The Constitution of India stipulates that India be a federal polity with a central government in New Delhi, and state governments for the various states and Union territories. Consequently, political parties in India are classified as national and state (regional) parties based on their realms of influence.
National parties
- Bahujan Samaj Party ("Majority Society Party", BSP)
- Bharatiya Janata Party ("Indian People's Party", BJP)
- Communist Party of India (CPI)
- Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M))
- Indian National Congress (INC)
- Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)
State parties
Parties that have received certain amount of votes or seats in a state might be recognized as a state party by the Election Commission. Recognition as a state party given the party the possibilty to reserve a particular election symbol in the concerned state. A party might be recognized in more than one state. A party recognized in four states is automatically recognized as a national party. Below is the list of recognized state parties ahead of the Maharashtra & Arunachal Pradesh state assembly elections in October 2004. The states where the party has gained recognition is also stated, although the party may very well be active in more states and territories than that.

- Bangla Bachao Front - an opposition front in the 2001 West Bengal state elections. Was headed by All India Trinamool Congress.
- Democratic Front - the governing coalition in Maharashtra.
- Him Loktantrik Morcha - a now defunct 'third front' in Himachal Pradesh.
- National Democratic Alliance - headed by the BJP.
- National Front - headed by Janata Dal, governed India 1989-1991. Now defunct.
- Left Democratic Front - Opposition front in Kerala, headed by CPI(M).
- Left Front - headed by CPI(M).
- Sikkim United Democratic Alliance - political front in Sikkim, including regional parties, BJP, INC.
